New Mexico Tops San Diego State for MWC Title

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Cameron Bairstow scored 17 points to lead No. 20 New Mexico to a 64-58 victory over No. 8 San Diego State in the Mountain West Conference championship game Saturday, giving the Lobos the automatic berth into the NCAA tournament.

Trailing by one with a little more than one minute left in the game, Bairstow scored five of the Lobos' last eight points to help the Lobos win their third consecutive tournament title.

New Mexico (27-6) had its five-point halftime lead disappear when the Aztecs opened the second half on an 8-0 run, to take a 30-27 lead.

After the Lobos tied it at 30 apiece, the teams exchanged baskets over the next five minutes, until New Mexico went on its run.
